We’re Colin and Susan, Goodheart’s famous turkey duo. I (Susan) was bought by my previous owners to be raised for Christmas. Before long, however, my quirky character had won them over and as December approached, they couldn’t bring themselves to send me for slaughter. Instead I went to live at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary.
I (Colin) arrived soon after – and I’ve been following Susan around ever since. We spend our days roaming the sanctuary together, pecking at fruit from the trees – oh, and the odd shiny car! As well as being turkeys, our other duties include patrolling the yard and meeting and greeting all the sanctuary’s visitors.
We have two adoption boxes to choose from:
£30.00
Plus regular email updates from Colin and Susan the turkeys throughout the year!
Suitable for 5 to 12 years.
£30.00
Plus regular email updates from Colin and Susan the turkeys throughout the year!
Click the button below to buy a Colin and Susan Turkey Adoption Box as a gift. We can either deliver it to you to give in person, or directly to your recipient. There’s also the option to add a gift message to the box free of charge.
As the only two turkeys here at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary, Colin & Susan rule the roost, and they certainly know it! Join our Sanctuary Manager Dave as he introduces these two cheeky residents!
Turkeys will stretch their legs and ruffle their wing feathers when feeling particularly comfortable.
A male’s snood (the fleshy piece of skin just above the beak) is capable of relaxing and contracting. The skin on a turkey’s face can also change colour dependent on their mood.
Turkeys are very wary of strangers and may attack or even kill an ‘alien’ member of the flock.
A £30 one-off payment is required to adopt Colin and Susan the turkeys, and your adoption lasts for 12 months. If you would like to support our animals with a regular payment, please consider a Sponsorship or a Regular Donation.
When you adopt Colin and Susan, you’re helping care for them and all their friends at our sanctuary, as well as supporting our wider work as an animal charity. Your kindness also helps towards maintenance of our sanctuary site, event planning, and funding projects like our Pig Barn & Woodland!
